Chapter 15 Change of Medicine, her whole body was very white.
This feels very strange.
She had simply grabbed his arm.
Why didn't I feel this way on my wedding day?
Chao Lu stared straight ahead, not hearing a word the people around him said, until Ruan Yu noticed: "Your Highness, Your Highness?"
Chao Lu suddenly came to his senses: "What?"
They were almost at the entrance of the mansion, and the light was getting brighter. Ruan Yu was a little surprised by his reaction, so she turned her head and smiled slightly: "I was just asking Your Highness if you were hungry, and about your arm..."
Chao Lu glanced to the side; in fact, his wound had reopened and was causing a dull ache.
But it's fine to deal with it or not.
He's suffered much worse injuries; he'll heal on his own sooner or later.
But Ruan Yu said, "I'll go back and take a look. If it doesn't work, I'll call the herdsman's doctor."
Chao Lu awkwardly replied, "No need..."
Ignoring his refusal, Ruan Yu tightened her grip on his arm, almost pulling him into the tent.
With her strength, there was no way she could have moved him even a fraction, but for some reason, Chao Lu unconsciously followed.
Back in her tent, Ruan Yu asked Xuan Niang to prepare the meal first, and then went to find the medicine. Just as she was about to ask, A Fu came in: "Your Highness! It's time to change the medicine!"
Before he could finish speaking, Ruan Yu stepped forward and said, "Give it to me, I'll take it."
Afu was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Yes, then this servant will take his leave."
Chao Lu sat down at the table, and Ruan Yu stepped forward and knelt down next to him.
She rarely adopted this posture, because she was shorter than Chaolu. Although Chaolu was sitting, his physique was remarkably upright, and his posture was tall and straight. She was clearly also straightening her back, but she probably only reached his shoulder... In addition, Ruan Yu was looking down at his arm, and her whole body seemed to be enveloped by Chaolu's figure...
A man only needs to look down to see her slender neck.
Chaolu still couldn't understand how a person could be so weak. Were the women in Chang'an always hungry from a young age?
With such a slender neck, he could easily hold it hostage with just a light touch of his palm; if he used even a little more force...
Chao Lu abruptly banished the idea from his mind. What was he thinking?
She was not the prey.
But his eyes still couldn't help but look over there.
Then he discovered that she was not only slender, but also very fair-skinned.
Yes, she was very fair-skinned from head to toe.
It's unnaturally white; you can even see the color of the blood vessels.
But when the warm light shines on it, he can see a layer of fine downy hairs attached to it.
Her breathing rises and falls.
Chaolu suddenly felt his hair stand on end, as if it had been gently brushed by a brush.
Does it hurt?
Ruan Yu suddenly spoke, and the man instantly came to his senses.
pain?
He didn't feel anything.
But he suddenly noticed that Ruan Yu's voice had changed, and she looked up, her eyes seeming to be glistening with tears.
Ruan Yu had never seen his injury before—he wouldn't let her see it.
Chaolu's arm was not only fractured, but also had external injuries.
The veterinarian's treatment method is also very simple—
Apply the medicine, fix it with a wooden board, and then wrap it up.
Because of a fight with the people from the Haryan tribe.
The wooden planks were out of position, and a large piece of skin and flesh had been torn off them.
When she was a child, she saw a dog with a broken leg; the flesh was hanging down, revealing the bloody, mangled bones, and she couldn't bear to see that sight.
I feel so heartbroken I could cry.
My mother said she has a kind heart, which is why she can't stand such things.
Chao Lu clearly misunderstood.
Such a small injury, is it that you're scaring people?
He calmed down and said, "I'll do it myself."
Before she could finish speaking, Ruan Yu leaned forward again, her soft breath brushing against his arm.
In an instant, that feeling of goosebumps came back!
"It's okay, I can manage."
Her fingers were still quite nimble, and before Chao Lu could react, she had applied the medicine and re-bandaged the wound.
"This is all I can do. Don't move around too much tonight. Let the veterinarian take a look when you change the dressing tomorrow morning."
After she finished speaking, she noticed that Chaolu didn't react, so she looked up at him curiously.
It was only then that Ruan Yu realized he had been watching her the whole time.
The two were in the same position, with her lying on her lap, head tilted back, while Chao Lu was looking down and leaning forward, their eyes meeting.
Ruan Yu was also stunned, "Your Highness?"
Chaolu found himself in a somewhat disheveled state, his whole body tense.
He looked away and coughed lightly, "I understand."
Ruan Yu smiled gently: "Alright, let's have a meal then."
She finally took a step back, sat up straight, and then stood up.
Just as she stood up, Chao Lu tugged at the hem of his clothes in an attempt to cover up his actions.
It's as if they're trying to cover something up.
-
After their meal, the two rested together.
There were only two hours left until dawn. Who knew what kind of trouble the Haliang tribe would cause tomorrow morning?
As it turned out, Ruan Yu's conjecture was entirely correct.
Because of Chaolu's impulsiveness last night, Hurile summoned Chaolu early this morning.
Ruan Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at him with obvious nervousness, but the man just shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It's okay."
He got up and followed the others, and Ruan Yu followed them to the tent entrance.
"Yang Chong, His Highness..."
Yang Chong seemed to guess what she was going to ask, and whispered, "In the past, the Great Khan would confine His Highness."
Ruan Yu: "...How many days?"
"It's hard to say. It depends on whether His Highness will talk back. It could take anywhere from three days to half a month."
Ruan Yu pursed her lips.
She turned around abruptly: "Xuan Niang, come with me to Madam's!"
Xuan Niang was stunned for a moment, then quickly agreed and followed.
Yang Chong hesitated for a moment and did not follow, but Has suddenly walked up to him and asked strangely, "When did you get so close to Si Ke Dun?"
Yang Chong ignored him.
-
Chaolu was indeed placed under house arrest.
Three days.
Ruan Yu and Lady Qiu went to see the Great Khan, but they didn't even get to enter the golden tent.
Ruan Yu was truly at a loss. She glanced at her mother-in-law beside her. Madam Qiu's expression was also not good, but she still comforted her first, saying, "It's alright, you can go back first."
"Yes, Mother-in-law..."
Ruan Yu vaguely felt that her mother-in-law could still do something, but she was just a junior and a new bride, so there wasn't much she could do.
After walking a few steps, he looked back at her back again, and finally went back with Xuan Niang and Qing Guo.
Xuan Niang had no choice but to wait in the tent.
"This is truly... The matter of Dabieji hasn't been resolved yet, and now the Fourth Prince has been punished. How could the Great Khan..."
Ruan Yu pursed her lips and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
But just at that moment, Una came to visit again.
This time, Ruan Yu didn't try to test her anymore; she remained mostly silent while receiving guests.
Una's purpose was also quite clear: "My mother heard about what happened between Dabiekichi and the Fourth Prince today, and sent me to see if there's anything I can do to help?"
Ruan Yu's eyelashes trembled as she looked at the Grand Khan.
“I never expected that Chasu would survive. It’s unbelievable. Even the noble women of our grasslands, such as Begi, sometimes have many things they can’t control. Mother’s idea is… if the Great Begi goes back this time, she should personally select some capable guards to accompany her and also add many more, so that the Great Begi won’t be wronged.”
Ruan Yu hadn't understood her meaning before, so how could she not understand it now? She suddenly smiled faintly: "Sister won't go back."
Una paused for a moment.
"Fourth sister-in-law... Fourth brother has been punished with confinement. You should have tried to persuade him. He's too impulsive, and his elder brother and I really can't bear it. Whether Dabieji returns or not is solely the father's decision. Why are you doing this..."
Ruan Yu suddenly felt a little irritated. She used to think that the women of the grasslands had different personalities from the noblewomen of Chang'an.
But right now, she's wrong.
Ruan Yu laughed again: "What my sister-in-law said is absolutely right. But if whether or not my sister goes back is only up to Father Khan, then why did my sister say those things just now? Does it mean that Khatun has already made the decision and my sister has to go back?"
Una's expression changed slightly.
"Of course not."
Ruan Yu: "That's settled then. Fourth Prince... His temperament may be a bit impulsive, but that's the sincerity of a younger brother. Since things haven't been settled yet, I'll politely decline Da Hadun's offer."
Una was stunned for a moment, as if she hadn't expected Ruan Yu to suddenly change. She remained silent for a moment, then stood up.
"I was being presumptuous. Please pretend I was never here."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Ruan Yu didn't say anything, "Xuan Niang, please see the Grand Chancellor off on my behalf."
Una looked back at her incredulously, then abruptly turned and walked away.
Qingguo was also a little angry, and after everyone left, she let out a soft hum.
"I thought she was straightforward! I never imagined she was more cunning than any noblewoman in Chang'an! Khatun, your intuition was right!"
Ruan Yu frowned, said nothing, and didn't care whether she had offended anyone.
-
On the third day of confinement at Chaolu Pass, Hela emerged from her tent.
Two days ago, those around her deliberately kept it from her; she was unaware that Chaolu had been placed in solitary confinement.
But it was obvious that one of the maids beside her had let slip the secret. Hela was so agitated that she didn't care about anything else and stormed into the golden tent in a fit of rage.
"Farewell, farewell!"
The maidservant beside him was terrified and quickly sent someone to fetch Madam Qiu.
To everyone's surprise, they learned that Madam Qiu was not in the tent and no one knew where she had gone!
"Then go and invite Siqdun!"
"yes!"
A quarter of an hour later, Ruan Yu was so shocked that she almost lost her footing. Without even asking a single question, she immediately rushed out and ran towards the golden tent.
Xuan Niang and Qing Guo quickly followed.
Ruan Yu was a little worried, not because she was worried that Hela would rush over and bump into the Khan or something—
The Khan might not even see her.
She was just worried because she heard that the people of the Haryan tribe were still here.
What if we encounter it...
It's true that what you fear most in this world often comes true... Just as Ruan Yu was about to catch up with Haila, people from the Haliang tribe suddenly appeared not far away. This time, they were clearly well-prepared as well.
They were pushing a man in a wheelchair, and Hela was surrounded by several people.
Hela's eyes widened, and the man stared at her strangely as well—
"Long time no see, Hela, where are you going..."
"Chasu... Chasu... You're really still alive..."
Chasu smiled and said, "Yes, I've come to take you home, my beautiful wife, and our son."
